1. Dunking bunker chunks. while anchored. The 39 pound striped bass
shown on the right was caught from a 21 foot boat while anchored in Delaware Bay.
The bait was a bunker head. Chumming was used.

2. You can also fish with clams while
anchored. Boat fisherman who fish their local waters often, especially charter captains,
get to know where all the clam beds are in their area. In the days after a storm, these fishermen anchor
over these clam beds, and fish using clams for bait. They know that the storms stir up the clam beds,
and that stripers will be there feeding on broken clams.

3. Live lining bunker. This often involves snagging bunker, then fishing them live.
Most boat fishermen snag the bunker using a treble hook, place them in a live well, then fish them on another rod rigged with a circle hook.

4. Drifting over structure
or lumps on the bottom. Live eels are often the bait of choice. Greg Myerson caught his world record striped bass
drifting a live eel near a submerged boulder.

5. Jigging with diamond jigs or other lures. This is a good choice when sand eels are the prevalent bait.

7. Trolling bunker spoons, surgical tubes with worms, umbrella rigs,
or parachute rigs. If the fish are really deep this may require the use of wire or lead core line
to get the lures deep. Planar boards are often used to keep lines from crossing and away from the boat.
